✔ Enhanced power efficiency for sustainable networking
✔ Ultra-low latency (<1µs), crucial for AI, ML, and financial applications
- Automation & AI-Driven Networking. Cisco NX-OS & ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure)
The Nexus 9300 Series is powered by Cisco NX-OS, which supports:
✔ Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) for faster deployment
✔ Python & REST API programmability for automation
✔ Streaming telemetry for real-time analytics
With ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure), users benefit from:
✔ Policy-based automation for workload mobility
✔ Multi-cloud integration with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
✔Micro-segmentation for application security
Integration with Cisco DNA Center, These switches seamlessly integrate with Cisco DNA Center, enabling:
✔AI-driven analytics for proactive network management
✔ Intent-based networking to automate configurations
✔ Software-defined access (SD-Access) for seamless policy enforcement

✔ Secure communications across hybrid cloud environments
Micro-Segmentation & TrustSec. The Cisco TrustSec feature in these switches enables:
✔ Role-based access control (RBAC)
✔ Endpoint authentication & policy enforcement
✔ Zero Trust security model implementation
✔ MACsec (Media Access Control Security) Encryption
✔ IEEE 802.1AE encryption ensures data confidentiality between switches
✔ Protects against man-in-the-middle attacks
✔ Supports encryption at line-rate speeds
- Deep Visibility & Real-Time Analytics, Cloud-Scale Telemetry & Analytics
The Nexus 9300 Series uses streaming telemetry to provide:
✔ Granular insights into network performance
✔ Real-time anomaly detection
✔ Proactive troubleshooting & predictive analytics
Support for AI/ML Workloads
These switches deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity optimized for:
✔ AI/ML workloads & GPU clusters
✔ Big Data analytics
✔ Hyperscale cloud applications
